Answer:
4 trips
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 892 bales of hay
each one weighs about 62.5 pounds
892 * 62.5 = 55,750
George's truck can only carry 8 tons
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
2,000 * 8 = 16,000 pounds
So,
55,750 / 16,000 = 3.484375
But since you can't make 3.484375 trips in a truck, round it up.
3.484375 rounded up equals 4
George has to take 4 trips
X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0
</span>therefore the answer is A.
Y=35
Z=112
Hope this helps you and you have a good day and yes I did calculate this
392 boots. If you divide everything into "sets" of an unknown amount, there are 5 more "sets" of boots than sandals, also known as the 245 boots. So if you divide 245 by 5, you'll get the number of items in a "set". Then just multiply by 8 from the 8:3 ratio. If you check it, it will come out to 392 boots to 147 sandals, which I think is ridiculous since sandals are supposed to come in pairs so you should never have a odd number. But anyway, 392 - 147 = 245
